Change heart

Xu Xin'an was awakened by the chirping of birds.The confused man sat up with the quilt in his arms, looked at the strange things around him with confused eyes, and let his mind go blank for a few seconds.It wasn't until the sound of footsteps and unfamiliar dialects came from outside that Xu Xin'an came back to his senses. He followed Zhao Jianyi home yesterday.

With slightly disheveled hair, she got up to wash up, walked around the room for a long time before realizing that the bathroom was outside.He stroked his hair, put on his clothes, and took out a pair of glasses from the suitcase and put them on.

Opening the door, the old wooden door creaked harshly, facing the fresh air and the smell of breakfast coming from nowhere, Xu Xin'an felt the rare soot smell.The door opened, and Zhao Jianyi walked in from the outside in sportswear. He was a little surprised to see Xu Xin'an.

"Wake up so early?"

Xu Xin'an saw that his hair was slightly wet and his clothes were stained with sweat. He should have just come back from a morning run.

"It's not too early for you." Xu Xin'an smiled.

Zhao Jianyi nodded, but his eyes were on the plain mirror on Xu Xinan's face.Xu Xin'an supported the mirror frame, "The eyes seem to be swollen, please block them."

Zhao Jianyi was silent for a while, "Didn't sleep well last night, are you scared?"

That's not true.

After chatting with Zhao Jianyi last night, Xu Xinan's heart miraculously settled down. As for why he couldn't sleep, it might be because of what Zhao Jianyi said.It's like suddenly learning someone else's secret, and I feel a little uneasy, but also slightly happy.It was a feeling of affirmation and trust.Zhao Jianyi is very guarded. Being able to tell him this means that in his heart, he has become a trustworthy ally.

Of course, Xu Xin'an would not say these words.

"No, I slept pretty well. Maybe I drank too much water last night, so I'll go wash up first." Xu Xin'an stretched.

Zhao Jianyi looked away, and his eyes fell on a green leafy plant that had just sprouted in the yard.

"There are new toiletries in the bathroom. The water heater is broken, and someone will come to fix it today. The hot water has already been boiled, and it is in the kettle. Be careful when you use it."

Xu Xin'an thanked her, then turned and went into the bathroom.

Zhao Jianyi wiped the sweat off his face, and his mother walked in through the door, "What are you doing standing here? Wash up quickly, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Zhao Jianyi hummed, but did not move.His mother looked at the closed door and laughed: "What are you looking at, this is my newly planted cabbage, do you want to eat it?"

Hearing the joke in the old man's words, Zhao Jianyi planned to go back to the room first.The old lady followed behind him: "You haven't brought anyone back for a long time. This child looks like he came from a good family. He has rules in doing things, knows how to measure, and is good-looking. I like it very much."

It was rare for the old lady to say so much in one breath, Zhao Jianyi sighed: "Mom, don't do too many things, he is not an ordinary person."

The old lady held a basket in her hand, which contained freshly picked corn, and the water beads on the corn leaves were not dry.

"I don't want to take care of your affairs, and I can't take care of them. Mom sees that you care about him, so just talk a little more. If you're not happy, I won't talk about it." The old lady turned and went to the kitchen. Zhao Jianyi said: "Mom ,I did not mean that."

The old lady turned around with a smile and said, "I know, you are embarrassed."

The old lady left with the basket.Zhao Jianyi stared at the energetic back of the old lady, and the corners of her tightly pursed lips moved slightly.

Breakfast is millet porridge, brown sugar steamed buns, and home-grown corn.

Xu Xin'an drank half a bowl of porridge, and the aroma of brown sugar steamed buns whetted his appetite.The old lady was delighted and said, "Eat more if you like it."

Xu Xin'an said: "Your craftsmanship is really good. I also have an elder in my family. Like her, the food you cook has a taste of home. Director Zhao's craftsmanship is also taught by you, right?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady turned her head to look at her son who was eating sullenly, "Jianyi cooked for you?"

Xu Xin'an understood this sentence, and continued: "Yes."

The expression on the old lady's face is wonderful.

Zhao Jianyi stood up, "I'll take you out for a walk." Xu Xin'an held half a steamed bun in his hand, "I haven't finished eating yet."

Zhao Jianyi pulled him up, "Go out and eat." As he spoke, he grabbed a piece of corn and handed it to him.Xu Xin'an took it, "This is not good, your mother..."

The old lady waved her hand: "Go, go. The sun is just right at this time, so it's good to go for a walk."

Xu Xin'an was taken out by Zhao Jianyi, and the old lady got up to clean up the dishes. This child obviously cared too much.You obviously don't like to go into the kitchen the most, but you still cook for others, who are you kidding?

When the two of them left the house, Xu Xin'an discovered that the houses here are all built along the water. The old houses with white walls and black tiles are old but simple. It was dark last night and it was difficult to see clearly. very good.

Along the way, there were quite a few people in the village, and the strange thing was that they all avoided them, obviously a little afraid of Zhao Jianyi.Looking at Xu Xin'an's eyes are somewhat probing, Xu Xin'an doesn't like such a straightforward look.Suddenly a hat came down on his head, Xu Xin'an looked up at Zhao Jianyi, seeing him looking towards the villagers with a sullen face, those who had gathered to discuss suddenly dispersed.

Xu Xin'an couldn't help laughing, Zhao Jianyi turned her head silently: "They are afraid of me. I paid for the repair of the road in this village, and I paid for the renovation of the house. I smashed the ancestral hall..."

After a pause, "It's over, I also repaired it."

Xu Xin'an was taken aback, "It's like what you would do."

"After my father died, people in the clan drove me and my mother out in order to monopolize our house. In order to support me and pick up garbage for a living, my mother fell ill. If it weren't for my mother, she was reluctant to leave this place. An old house, everything here I just want to make it disappear."

When he said this, Zhao Jianyi did not hide the indifference and cruelty in his words. In this place, he did not leave any good memories. Orphans and widows were bullied, and it took a lot of hatred to do things like smashing the ancestral hall.

"You just smashed the ancestral hall, and the villagers are so afraid of you?" Xu Xin'an felt that according to Zhao Jianyi's personality, he must have done more than this.

"As soon as I came back, the patriarch fell ill from fright, but died within half a year. It was planned to be rebuilt here, but it was auctioned off by me the year before last. I have the right to decide whether they will stay or not, and I only hope that my mother Live happily here. If my mother is not happy, then these people have to get out. "

The morning wind messed up Zhao Jianyi's hair hanging on his forehead. He has always been like this, indifferent and ruthless.It was like this when we first met, but now it has changed, finally there is some warmth in front of Xu Xinan.

The two walked to the edge of the field, and several children were catching fish.Xu Xin'an sat down along the field ridge, Zhao Jianyi stopped him, and put a piece of waterproof plastic paper on the field ridge.Xu Xin'an was surprised: "You still carry this with you?"

Zhao Jianyi didn't answer, and sat down beside him.A young master from such a famous family as Xu Xin'an may never have the chance to come to such a place in his whole life.He couldn't imagine the soil on the edge of the field sticking to his body.

Xu Xin'an stared at his well-defined side face, inexplicably guessing his thoughts.

Xu Xin'an, the second young master of the Xu family, what a noble person.How could it be possible to sit in this kind of rural field, with half-dried soil under your body and soil debris on your shoes. If it was normal, Yan Zhouya and the others would be scared to death if they saw it.Xu Xin'an, she should be exquisite and spotless, she should be a fairy in the sky, and she should not descend to the mortal world.As it is now, what a sin it is to sit on the ridge and eat corn.Xu Xin'an was amused by his own thoughts.

Zhao Jianyi turned around, can eating corn be so happy?

Xu Xin'an chewed the corn kernels in his mouth, the more he thought about it, the more amusing he became.Suddenly the sunlight in front of him was blocked, and the sudden sense of oppression made him raise his head, and Zhao Jianyi's magnified face was right in front of him.There was a cool touch on his lips, and Zhao Jianyi's breath hit the bridge of his nose, making it itchy.Xu Xin'an backed away, and Zhao Jianyi's low voice sounded in his ears: "Don't move." As if electric currents penetrated into the pores, Xu Xin'an froze in place, his eyes opened slightly, looking at Zhao Jianyi.

"You've got corn stuck here." Zhao Jianyi backed away, and there were indeed a little light yellow particles on the tip of his finger.

Xu Xin'an breathed a sigh of relief and said thank you.Thinking about it, when he looked up, he found that Zhao Jianyi was still looking at him.

Xu Xin'an subconsciously touched his face, was there something else.

Zhao Jianyi blocked the sun in front of him, with half of his face in the shadow, his expression undisputed.

"Your heart was beating so fast just now."

Xu Xin'an paused when he just remembered, and the roots of his ears turned red.
